So, I know that it's important to take SAM-e with Folic Acid and B12, but also heard that I need to take TMG...? True? Not true? Does anyone know about TMG? I just started SAM-e and it seems to be working just fine at 400 mg (although, I'll admit, my best days were when I just started it and had just stopped Cymbalta; now, it's a little less happy). In fact, perhaps my question should be whether or not people even take SAM-e anymore? The boards were hot and heavy on it a couple of years ago (back when I was on Effexor), but less so now. Any reasons why?
Thanks, all.
From the Smart Drugs.net website: The methyl donor, trimethyglycine (TMG), also called "glycine betaine," can help to convert dietary and cellular methionine into SAMe, possibly reducing the dose of oral SAMe needed to achieve results. 1-2 grams TMG, two or three time’s daily, is probably the minimum "serious" dose. These five SAMe-metabolism optimizing nutrients will also aid in reducing blood levels of the toxic SAMe metabolite homocysteine.
And if anyone has any comments about smartdrugs that they can share, I'm all ears...
